If a "memorial" precedent of system naming began, and people continue being mortal, it would put CCP in the odious business of having to decide which deceased players were worth commemorating, and which ones are not. People might take those kind of decisions personally to say the least.


This is pretty much how I feel about it, Goons will likely never go disappear, and It wouldn't surprise me at all if there is at least one station named after Vile rat as long as eve servers are running.

No. I say this from the point of view of even having a Navy Seal close friend who played E-O and died, in-service to their country. Leave RL ---> that way :outside game: Enjoy Eve as the game and RL get away it is. Sorry for your loss and the loss of a dedicated Eve-online player. R.I.P VR

If you don't want to look at it then you don't have to. There will be no harm to those that don't want a monument.

I can't wait until players start demanding system names like UP-BUT or GY-SEX

I have no problem with VR-RIP, but in general I wouldn't trust the eve player base to name a pet rock.

Don't think it would hurt the game.

In Templar One, there was the whole thing about Pikes Landing, so if not a system, then perhaps a planet?

As for a monument, did anybody think an MMO would last so long as this without a request for a monument for a fallen player who, it appears, was popular?

Even so, if an alliance wants to say, use PLEX and purchase an in-game monument, or if even a drive is taken for the cause of the general player base (since not everybody is as big as GoonS) to build a monument, then why not?

It was bound to happen eventually. Imagine if the game is available still in say, 50 years and Chribba finally dies of old age?

If GoonS want a monument, they should have one. And I don't think the EvE world is going to get so filled with monuments that it will be hard to navigate.

(I suspect these would have to be High sec monuments lest some asshat patrol destroy it for the lulz)

My condolence to his family and friends, i never knew him that much in eve but any loss of life in real life is unfortunate and tragic to any one who feel close to him.

regarding the petition... instead of petition for a monument that will open a Pandora box why not just give the players the ability to build and anchor monuments in space just like outposts and towers?

Remember the Teskanen Station Memorial Library from Clear Skies 3...? How about something similar, if possible..

For example, a dedicated place in space, with a main structure and one small nearby structure for every capsuleer, for every player that we know has passed away, similar to those multi-part sleeper buildings.
Each individual structure would bear the name of the deceased and the info would allow for a few lines about who he was to the community and those that called him friend.


I really like this idea. While I never had the opportunity to meet him, or speak with him, I knew of him, and what he had done for the EVE Universe as a whole, thus what he did for all of us.

Rest in peace Vile Rat.

I can't really speak for him, but his reputation would suggest a cease fire is the last thing he would want for this game.



Would probably want an all out out last man standing battle Big smile


I was gonna suggest a meeting with a 10min cease fire and then a free for all... But wasn't sure if it was being disrespectful or not.

If CCP doesn't want to put something out in null-sec they could always establish a memorial in New Eden (the system) near the Eve Gate since lore-wise this is New Eden's connection to Earth.

Dear CCP


There are a few players in this game who have shaped our game to what it is today.

Vile Rat was one such person and this morning we learned of his passing, a very sad loss to this community.

Please would you give your consideration to change a system name to VR-RIP. This name was mentioned by Prador in Viles Rip post.

I think this would be a fitting tribute to a player like VR

Thanks for your time


Please sign below if you want to support this idea Big smile



Not supported, more than a couple of people who have played this game have died, wrong precendent to follow.

I am actually a little surprised that Eve does not have a monumemt somewhere dedicated to those players who have died. I have seen this in other games and seen no problems with it. If it so happens that this tradition begins now, I am okay with that as well.

As for Vile Rat. An in game monument will be small comfort to his family, and perhaps little more for his friends in game, but if it helps why not? Name a system after the guy, and put a monument up somewhere in Jita. Perhaps have weapons disabled there of something.

Rather than Jita, how about back in New Eden, with the EVE Gate in the background. Kinda symbolising that these players have "returned" to Earth.
